I just don't understand what donors would continue to part ways with their cash only to see the athletes turn around and leave. I just don't get it. That happens only one time and that wallet is closed. Now, schools like Davis make a little more sense, granted their retention rate is higher, but still. I'll bet we have 2, maybe 3 years of this before big donors (at other schools especially) throw in the towel.
The real question is, say someone enters the portal and doesn't get the interest they want, and they want to come back to UCD. Do they get welcomed back with open arms or is that a closed door? What sort of message does that send to the team?
